Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers says he wants to follow in the footsteps of former great Bill Shankly and rebuild the club to its former glories.
The Reds have brought back one trophy to Anfield since 2006 - last season's League Cup - and Rodgers is determined to put that right by transforming the Merseysiders back to prominence but he is wary of living too much in the past.
"First and foremost there is no comparison in relation to those greats of the past; those two managers will always be remembered here. For someone like me, my job is to build the club again, like Bill Shankly did very successfully and that set up the many successful eras that everyone remembers Liverpool for," he said.
"That's what I'm trying to replicate and it's a huge challenge, because the club is an institution, but it is a challenge that I've enjoyed every minute of and all the staff and players have also. I've seen real progress this season and I would expect us to continue that over the next couple of years.
"This is an incredible club, you only need to walk into the reception to see a European Cup in the hallway, so you know that everyday you come in you have to be good.
"It's important that we use that as motivation and commitment for our future. The wonderful players and managers that we have had here provide inspiration to us all and it gives us a great focus going forward to try and recreate those memories."
